Local Briefs: Manitowoc extends leaf pickup

The City of Manitowoc says it’s keeping its leaf pickup efforts going longer than expected — through Dec. 2.

Workers won’t pick up leaves Nov. 24 or 25.

The city says it’s asking people to get their leaves out by 7 a.m. on their designated street sweeping day.

On streets with a parking lane (streets in which people can park in front of a residence have them), leaves should be raked into the parking lane the night before your pickup.

On streets without a parking lane, leaves should be placed on the grassy area between the sidewalk and curb.

There is a residential parking ban from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of an area’s pickup, which is the same day as the normal street sweeping. Cars parked on the street during the time of the ban will be ticketed.

The 212-degree two-day personal development conference was designed for high school freshmen and sophomores involved in the FFA. The name is a reference to the temperature at which water boils, and tied in to the conference’s effort to take students “to the boiling point of leadership,” the organization says.

The 360-degree conference helped members “take a full circle in chapter leadership development.”
